Algeria continues to block UN-mediated negotiation

Algeria continues to resist UN-led roundtable talks on Western Sahara, defying Security Council resolutions, despite being a key party to the dispute, according to media reports. Foreign Minister Ahmed Attaf reiterated Algiers' stance during a Sunday meeting with UN envoy Staffan de Mistura, asserting support for a political solution but denying direct involvement. The UN has struggled to advance negotiations since 2021 as Algeria refuses formal engagement, prolonging the decades-old conflict. De Mistura’s regional tour aims to revive stalled peace efforts.
